As a teen, I purchased drugs at an assembly hall. I gave my bible to the "brother" with some cash in it, he went into the bathroom, came out and gave me back my bible and told me to check out a certain verse. It was quite efficient and he always made quite a profit at the assemblies.

I don't know if it would be considered controversial, but:
I had a habit of going over the time allotted on my talks. Personally, I think that the 5 minute bible reading is far too short to say anything significant. I always had a lot of material I wanted to cover in so little time. I didn't want to give the same boring ass talks I heard everyone else give, so I always did a lot of research so that I would have something meaningful to say.
Anyway, this was one time when, I must admit, I didn't really prepare. So before I could even finish my talk, the bell rang. So I pause for a moment, look out into the audience, and say (half-joking):
"You know on C-SPAN, there have a provision for those who use up all there time. Whenever a speaker uses all his time, he can request to a few more moments or to borrow time from another speaker. I really wish they had that provision for the Theocratic Ministry School."
To my surprise, people started laughing, I mean really laughing. Some people even started to applaud. I didn't really think about it that much until Sunday when the School overseer called me aside. He said that although he had no problem with my comment, he had received some complaints from others in the congregation. He said that some were offended that I would use the platform to talk about American government, or something like that. I guess they thought I was breaking God's laws of neutrality. I guess the offended were in the minority, though. Most people said they really enjoyed the talk.
Not to mention a couple of elder's wives sitting on the benches in the coatroom who more than likely told a whole bunch of over people. (They were never sitting down during the meetings!
not to go too off topic but what is the deal with elder's wives sitting in the coatroom and/or the 2nd ministry school during the meetings?
they did this in my KH too! as if they had some special function there?
It didn't happen in the kingdom hall; rather, it was at my house, but it's worthy of a mention in this thread. As a young teenager, I told the CO and his wife to "get the fuck out of our house!" (Excuse the expletive usage, but censoring this one destroy's its true essence) It was worth every bruise I got for doing it!
Crumpet and bull01Lay....we are cut from the same cloth. The most controversial thing that Ive ever done in a KH, like yourselves, was to gratify myself in the KH toilet room. Hey, as an adolescent young man I masturbated just about any where that I spent a lot of time and just as most JW's I spent a lot of time in the KH.
Seker4, your talks sounded interesting. I wish that I could have been present for them. Im sure that they would have done me much more good than the one attended at my hall.
Kwin, although I agree that buying drugs at your assembly is indeed controversial, IMHO it pales in comparison to the letter you sent to all of your "brothers and sisters" before your exit. You rock dude.
Gmahler, your CSPAN comment made me laugh out loud. Why am I not supprised that some up tight anal rentintive JW would have taken offence?
well, of course i jerked off in the washroom... once in the library, in the second room... anyways, there was this 26 year old girl, i was 19 and she really really had the hots for me, and really who could blame her... so i coaxed her into the b-skool, we were able to sneak in actually cuz it had 2 doors, we locked em both and she gave me oral sex!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!
and of course the swearing at the top of my lungs during the stupid songs... ha ha, im EVIL!
the infamous one
I wore pants.
I called the bulletin board a bulletin board.
I sat down next to my husband AFTER we were married and BEFORE he told the Elders about me. Watching hubby's face go sheet-white made it all worthwhile. That will teach him to diss his wife just before a meeting.....
Oh yes, I bring my cell phone and my PDA and my notebook and a newly sharpened pencil and write short stories and play solitiare. I nap at conventions.
jgnat, your post makes it sound as if your still attending these meetings and conventions. I thought your husband was giving his suits away to charity?
This is all past tense, Drth Yhwh.
Hubby is still hanging on to the suits and hope, but his heart is no longer in it.
Us UBM's are in for the long haul. Rebound was gonna happen.
Like 144's mine happened at home but I think it deserves honorable mention. A couple of elders stop by the house while I am still living at my parents and going to college. I was never baptized and hadn't been to a meeting in over a year at that time. They tell me that they want to talk about all the partying I am doing at school and so on. Then they tell me they asked my parents permssion to chat with me and told them everything they knew. I was incensed, I'm 20 years old and you are telling my mother what I am up to, upsetting the poor woman half to death, she thinks I'm bird food anyway.
So, without further ado I tell them to get out, this conversation is over and to help them on their way I grab the one nimrod's briefcase and on the porch do a half discus half hammer throw move and send that mother sailing.
I believe I hold the unofficial world record for the briefcase toss.
